A busy few weeks

Brandon is recoverying very well since removal of the tight cast pins and the button. I do want to show you the before walking, the walking 1 week after coming home and walking now. Next week Brandon will have his cast removed. He is really ready. However, we have had a few other challenges since our last post. Brandon's dog Blackie died last week. He was a mastif/lab mix and the protector of the house. It is not the same around here without him. We will all miss him. Blackie was 11 yrs old. In addition, Brandon grandmother (my mom) have become very ill and has been in the hospital. This we had to move her to a skilled nursing facility. She had a stroke and will get intensive treatment to regain some of her skills and to help with memory. Brandon has found ways to me independent. He is walking much better. When he does not want to walk he is using his wheelchair to wheel himself around. We are trying to get him up as much as possible before the tight cast is removed next week. He will receive a back and special shoes next week after removal of the cast.
